Sherwin Williams

Celery

SW 6421

Celery by Sherwin-Williams (#E0DDBD) is a light, muted green with soft yellow undertones, producing an organic, spring-foliage quality. Its LRV of 71 places it in the upper-light range, providing gentle brightness without stark reflectance. The warm yellow base prevents it from reading as cool or minty, anchoring it instead in earthy green territory.

It functions effectively as both a background neutral and a quiet statement color. For layered green schemes, Sherwin-Williams Clary Sage and Svelte Sage offer deeper botanical companions, while Alabaster provides a clean, warm white border and Urbane Bronze adds grounding contrast.
